Superior Dao Instrument was activated, creating an unexpected force that caught Xu Feng off guard. To cover up this deception, Xu Feng unleashed several transparent fist imprints into the air, causing it to tremble, prompting the crowd to gradually retreat.
Only Yi Jiuzhou remained, seemingly in deep contemplation, standing dazed in the open space of the forbidden area throughout the night.
Upon returning to the secret chamber, Xu Feng dared not use the Ice Fire Blade again and instead focused on clearing Silverbeard's memories.
Silverbeard was a high-ranking official of Wuwei Academy, and his memories contained many core secrets of the academy. By refining Silverbeard and employing soul-searching techniques, Xu Feng naturally grasped the important insights within those memories.
Among the memories, Xu Feng discovered two crucial pieces of information: one was the reason behind the chaos at Wuwei Academy, and the other was the unparalleled Cultivation Method, the Wuwei Heart Sutra.
For ten thousand years, Wuwei Academy had been the leader of Xuan Continent, with an exceptional foundation in Xian Dao, producing numerous talents and becoming the sect with the most ascensions in Zheguo.
However, in the past five thousand years, no one from Wuwei Academy had ascended, nor were there any signs of ascension. In contrast, other sects were beginning to rise, and the reputation of Wuwei Academy as the top in Xian Dao was increasingly doubted. Some of the new generation no longer regarded Wuwei Academy as their first choice.
The loss of talent further weakened Wuwei Academy, and to change this situation, the current dean, Su Ji, decided to exert pressure on other sects. If they could not develop themselves, they would ensure others could not either, thus maintaining a certain level of lead.
Under Su Ji's directive, Silverbeard took on the mission to seize the Sorrowful Technique from Sealing Magic Gorge, while Qianlongzi assigned assassinations against individuals from Shennong Valley, including those involved in farming.
Knowing it was Su Ji's idea, Shennong Valley pretended to be oblivious until recent years when they dispatched Chen Erhuo, who killed Qianlongzi with a single sword strike and severely injured Qingyunzi. Had it not been for an ambush, it is likely that all six members of Wu Wei would have been wiped out.
Su Ji, not among the ranks of the Three Sovereigns or Four Kings, managed Wuwei Academy alongside three old monsters from the Transcendence Period. However, these three elders rarely emerged from their seclusion, often leaving all matters to Su Ji. With his cultivation at the Late Stage of Great Achievement, his strength was slightly inferior to that of the Three Statues.
Interfering in other sects' internal affairs did not garner unanimous support. Among the three Grand Elders, only one clearly supported Su Ji, while the other two remained indifferent with ambiguous attitudes.
After Qianlongzi was killed, there was controversy within Wuwei Academy. Some advocated withdrawing from conflicts with other sects while others pushed for increased aggression. Ultimately, Su Ji demanded an investigation into the murderer. After eliminating them, he planned for Wuwei Academy to withdraw and cease involvement in other sects' affairs.
However, things did not go as smoothly as anticipated. While they successfully lured out Chen Erhuo, an unexpected figure emerged—Xu Feng. Not only did he rescue Chen Erhuo, but he also killed both Not Returning Child and Silverbeard. With old grievances unavenged and new ones arising, there was much for Wuwei Academy to deal with now.
Having watched so many dramas, it was easy for Xu Feng to guess at Su Ji's intentions. The so-called quest for vengeance against the murderer was merely an excuse; when would grievances ever end? You killed Chen Erhuo, and naturally, Shennong Valley would retaliate again—this would only lead to another cycle of enmity.
Now, with everyone in search of Chen Erhuo, it would be difficult for Su Ji to retract his initial actions.
Having unraveled some mysteries, Xu Feng directed his focus toward another piece of information: the Wuwei Heart Sutra.
The Wuwei Heart Sutra is the foundation of Wuwei Academy, and all disciples entering Wuwei Academy must study the Wuwei Heart Sutra.
The Wuwei Heart Sutra was created by Wuwei Xianzun, the founder of Wuwei Academy. This cultivation method breaks the limitations of the five elements, allowing any attribute to be cultivated, and it does so at a rapid pace with immense power.
The Wuwei Heart Sutra consists of six layers. Silverbeard has mastered the first four layers, while only cultivators at the Late Stage of Great Achievement can access the fifth and sixth layers. The Five Masters and Six Disciples of Wuwei Academy are all at the Early Stage of Great Achievement, the Four Kings are at the Mid-Stage of Great Achievement, and the Three Statues are at the Late Stage of Great Achievement.
Silverbeard possesses the cultivation method for the fourth layer but has not fully mastered it.
The Wuwei Heart Sutra is profound and extensive; those below the Great Perfection Stage can only cultivate the first two layers. Refining Qi to Golden Core allows for cultivation of the first layer, while Yuan Ying to Separation of Spirit allows for cultivation of the second layer.
Yue Ren Mountain Villa has been a lackey of Wuwei Academy for many years, only obtaining the first layer of the Wuwei Heart Sutra's cultivation method, and not even in its original form. Each time they reach a certain level in their cultivation, they must invite someone from Wuwei Academy to resolve some "technical issues." Even so, the lower-level disciples of Yue Ren Mountain Villa have greatly benefited, with their cultivation speed increasing threefold compared to before. Over several decades, a large number of Golden Core Disciples have emerged.
Xu Feng gradually extracted the cultivation methods for the first four layers of the Wuwei Heart Sutra from Silverbeard's memories.
In the following period, Xu Feng devoted himself entirely to studying the Wuwei Heart Sutra, hoping to uncover its secrets.
The first layer of the Wuwei Heart Sutra encompasses both Golden Core Stage and Refining Qi Stage, covering a vast range. This cultivation method does not follow a step-by-step progression like other methods. Generally, the first layer of most cultivation methods is easy to practice and yields good results; however, this is not true for the Wuwei Heart Sutra. Its first layer is very difficult to enter, requiring practitioners to possess exceptionally high talent and aptitude.
Wuwei Academy actively seeks out talented cultivators not to intentionally set high barriers but because cultivators with average aptitude simply cannot grasp the essence of the Wuwei Heart Sutra.
The cultivation method provided by Wuwei Academy to Yue Ren Mountain Villa has been modified into a rigid doctrine that skips over difficult hurdles. While disciples from Yue Ren Mountain Villa achieve rapid progress in a short time, this approach is detrimental to their long-term development.
"The Way of Non-Action, grounded in my heart."
The Wuwei Heart Sutra advocates entering through personal experience—entering and exiting repeatedly—echoing some Taoist principles.
Xu Feng's Control Vein Technique specializes in skillful techniques that emphasize later victories over early ones in cultivation.
The Wuwei Heart Sutra transcends the concept of meridians, drawing from the earth as its source—free from desires and demands—enhancing affinity with the earth and utilizing its power for self-cultivation. Regardless of attribute, one can draw from between elements on earth.
Control Vein Technique focuses on technique while Wuwei Heart Sutra emphasizes intent; it is clear which is superior. Jin Liaoyuan, a prodigy of his generation, ultimately pales in comparison to the timeless brilliance of Wuwei Xianzun.
Wuwei Heart Sutra has six levels: Recognition, Borrowed Meaning, Bold Intent, Capture Intent, and Abandoning Intent. Each time one advances a level, their power increases exponentially.
Silverbeard is over two thousand years old and has reached the Great Perfection Stage, yet he is only at the beginning of the fourth level. If he were to reach the sixth level, it is highly likely that he would shatter the void and attain ascension.
The greatest difficulty of the Wuwei Heart Sutra lies in comprehending the Earth Principle. This approach is very challenging for newcomers, but for seasoned practitioners above the Separation of Spirit stage, it is quite simple.
Inheriting Silverbeard's cultivation insights, Xu Feng, who possesses powerful Soul Power, easily grasped the essence of the Wuwei Heart Sutra.
Xu Feng spent a year in a secret chamber on Bailu Mountain, effortlessly mastering the first level of the Wuwei Heart Sutra: the Recognition stage.
Recognition refers to understanding the profound meaning of the earth and belongs to introductory theory. Xu Feng approached it from a higher to lower perspective, akin to a high school student turning back to study textbooks; what once seemed difficult now became clear.
The Recognition stage of the Wuwei Heart Sutra differs from theories of other schools; its unique perspective and deep understanding form the worldview of the entire Wuwei Heart Sutra. Subsequent cultivation builds upon this foundation.
After completing the first level, Xu Feng experienced a leap in his concepts, understanding, and perspectives regarding Modern Clerk, as if he had opened another dimension. This led him to doubt and feel compelled to revise Jin Liaoyuan's Control Vein Technique.
The cultivation method of the first level of the Wuwei Heart Sutra, once entered, proves to be as effective as the Control Vein Technique. It is important to note that the Control Vein Technique corresponds to cultivation qualifications equivalent to a Single Spiritual Root.
If one were to merge the Control Vein Technique with the Wuwei Heart Sutra...
Creating a new Cultivation Method is a significant undertaking that cannot be accomplished overnight, so ultimately, Xu Feng did not pursue this path.
A year later, after completing the first level of the Wuwei Heart Sutra, Xu Feng left Bailu Mountain once again.
In the Water Curtain Cave of the Beast Wasteland, Xu Feng sat among a group of beasts in their Transformation Period. A Qi stood tall above them, showcasing his strength as a Royal Beast.
Having practiced swordsmanship in the Chaotic Sea for five years, A Qi roamed freely in the Beast Wasteland. After experiencing over a hundred battles, he finally made a strong advancement and became one of the few Royal Beasts in the area.
A Royal Beast is equivalent to a human at the Great Perfection Stage, and since there are no tier divisions among beasts, any that ascend to royal status become local overlords. A super being like A Qi, known as a Birdman, stands out as an overlord among overlords.
In the Water Curtain Cave, there were over ten Transformation Stage Beasts. Most of them were unfamiliar to Xu Feng. These were powerful beasts recently subdued by A Qi, now serving under him.
A Qi's golden hair turned red, a mix of gold and red that looked very cartoonish. Inside the cave, a white jade throne had been added at some point, and A Qi sat there majestically, occasionally lifting his long legs onto the armrests.
The crow said, "Cave Master, I have checked, and the Gorilla King has just gone through a Great War and is currently recovering. If we attack now, with Cave Master's strength, three punches and two kicks would be enough to solve the problem and seize the Red Flower Forest."
Another beast objected, "Foolish bird, I completely agree with taking the Red Flower Forest, but I can't agree that Cave Master can defeat the Gorilla King with just three punches and two kicks. In my opinion, at most one punch and one kick would be enough to make the Gorilla King lose its teeth."
Xu Feng couldn't help but glance at that beast. He was also skilled at flattery and had to admire this creature's profound abilities.
A Qi remained unmoved and said, "I, Qi Da Sheng, want to defeat the Gorilla King fairly and squarely. I will not do something as despicable as taking advantage of a weakened opponent. I need to enter seclusion for three months. After three months, we will sweep through the Red Flower Forest... Make sure to keep the Gorilla King's son locked up; don't let it escape."
Just when Xu Feng was impressed by A Qi's might, he broke into a sweat upon hearing the last sentence. Damn it, they captured someone's gorilla but wouldn't take advantage of the situation.
A Qi then turned his gaze to Xu Feng and sincerely said, "Junior brother, I am truly grateful that you can return when I need you. It is an honor to have a junior brother like you."
Xu Feng cleared his throat and said, "I just came to ask if you found that secret path leading to Zheguo."
A Qi: "..."
